When I was still a teenager I bought my first house in an old coal mining village for NZ$6000. That was one years wages as a storeman back then. We kept chickens and a garden and hunted for meat and fur. Grew exotic herb for cash. Spent time in the bush beaches and rivers hunting and fishing and just soaking up and learning the beauty and power of nature. Picked coal of the railway tracks down from where the wagons were loaded and would drop some off as they were hauled off. There was work if you wanted it, mostly hard physical work like fishing which could earn a good income for just 2 months work/year. I learned how to build and renovate and after a few years moved back to the city and worked my way up the property ladder, but those days in the country town were good ones. Living in the country is empowering and most things you do save you money or make you money unlike the city where almost everything costs you money. The linked article states 'access to the cheapest municipal electric in the United States, which presently sells for just $0.04/kwh.' Maybe a good place to mine Bitcoin and chill out.
